Looking at your pictures, the weapon looks like a German MG42 beltfed Machine gun. If that is what it is, then at no time did theat weapon ever except a magazine. Its a beltfed machine gun which use ammo that has been linked together.
How on Earth did you get permission to buy that in England? I thought the possession of even a single machinegun part would get you drawn and quartered.
The ammo appears to be 7.62 X 54R. Do you have other belt feds?

ok, missed the post where you said it was a 53. thats the yugo copy of the mg-42.
not sure if it can even be made work with the 42. the same website i just linked to though, did have a complete conversion kit to change it to an mg1 in 308 that will take an mg1 drum, but still no help for your mg3 drum.
